Writing and Consciousness Program

Master of Fine Arts in Writing and Consciousness

The MFA in Writing and Consciousness welcomes writers who are ready to

  • give themselves permission to take their writing to a deeper level
  • enhance their art, craft, and knowledge of both literature and consciousness
  • discover new forms and meanings for their work as they claim their own literary lineages
  • develop experimental, multi-genre, and/or multi-media projects OR
  • work primarily within a single genre, whether fiction, poetry, or creative nonfiction, staying open to developing their art and craft through the exploration of other genres
  • learn about teaching, editing and publishing, and/or freelance writing
  • become part of a supportive, rigorous writing community that draws on students with a wide variety of educational backgrounds, including but not limited to literature and creative writing, who can bring their individual perspectives and life experience to the classroom conversation
  • thrive in small classes, (limited) online conferences, and one-on-one work with faculty advisors.
